Storm Callum

Gusts are expected to reach up to 130km/h and there will also be some heavy rain and high tides.

Met Eireann says: "Some disruptive weather is expected Thursday night and early Friday, as a very deep low pressure system tracks northward about 150 to 200 miles to the west and this also coincides with spring tides.

Heavy winds will soon arrive in Dublin

"Very heavy rain and extremely windy conditions will sweep in off the Atlantic Thursday night, possibly stormy in some west and northern coastal areas.

"There will be heavy possibly thundery rain in many places overnight, with strong to gale force southeasterly winds developing, giving way to squally showers and strong to gale force south or southwesterly winds by Friday morning with damaging gusts, especially in Atlantic coastal areas, so take extreme care."

"Another spell of very heavy, possibly thundery rain will push northwards later Friday, and rain will be widespread on Friday night and for a time on Saturday but turning drier and fresher later in the day and overnight."
